Fall River autism-friendly playground funding approved

“It’s a dream come true,” said dad and maintenance technician Marcel Riley. On Nov. 10, the Fall River City Council approved spending $1,010,000 to build Mae’s Playground, a sensory-friendly playground planned for Abbott Court Playground Park. It will be paid for by a combination of grants, private fundraising and local community preservation funds. Riley has led the campaign to build it for over a year. “Finally, I feel like we’re there, fund-wise,” Riley said. Most importantly, the project received a $425,000 PARC grant from the state’s Division of Conservation Services, announced on Oct. 7. It’s the maximum amount applicants can receive. Statewide, fifteen other projects received the grants this year. The idea for the project has been gaining steam since 2025 , when Riley build a do-it-yourself sensory-friendly playground for his daughter Mae-Ella, who has autism and is non-verbal, in their backyard. The project's website explains that sensory-friendly playgrounds are geared toward kids with conditions including autism for whom “bright lights might feel too intense, loud sounds could be startling, or certain textures may be uncomfortable.” Mae’s Playground will also be wheelchair-accessible. “Families like mine, when we decide we’re going to go to a park, first thing that runs through

Kraft Group proposing to build data center campus in Sutton

SUTTON – A proposal to build multiple data centers on property off Boston Road and Providence Road will come before the Select Board on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a memo submitted by Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz. The campus would feature 10 buildings canvassing 250,000 square feet each, with the first two buildings opening in 2029 and another two opening each year until the project is complete in 2033, according to the proposal. The Unified Global Packaging Group and The Kraft Group, of which Unified is part, are behind the proposal, the memo states. The project would be built on part of Unified Global Packaging's Unified Parkway property . "At full build-out the campus would draw roughly 900 megawatts of power and represent more than $16 billion of private investment by the developer's estimate, several times the $2.8 billion in assessed value of all property in Sutton today," the memo reads. The Kraft Group – run by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his sons Jonathan and Daniel Kraft – is a group of privately held companies that also includes Worcester-based Rand-Whitney, which was previously owned by Jacob Hiatt, the father of Robert Kraft's late wife, Myra.
